I bought this heater to put on my self on my entertainment system shelf to gain more floor and wall space and it fits perfectly. I would have given 5 stars if I had a way to control the temperature in my poorly insulated room I am using it in. I decided to buy a temperature controlled device that turn the power off and on the plug with temperature set points. It will turn the power off on the heater when it reaches the set temperature, but when it turn the power back on the heater does not come back on, unless you touch the power button. I wish I known this before purchasing. I still planning to keep it and use with timer. I will just set it for two hours before going to bed and just turn it back on when I get up in the middle of the night. I just want to heat my bedroom and not the whole house. The walls are not insulated well and are center blocks. It has a brushless fan with variable speeds and that is the real reason I really want to keep it. AC motors make more noise and the bearings always rattle after a short time of using. They also use more energy. I hope one day they will make one with a thermostat.
I bought this heater during a really cold spell in my area, and I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed with its performance. I bought this because I purchased 2 fans for my mother and she said they worked well. So I decided to give the heater a chance The heat output is about the same as any other standard heater. Even with the whole room-high setting, it doesn’t seem to get very hot. The personal setting is decent, but only if you're right next to it. Another letdown was the range of motion—it doesn’t raise as much as the picture suggests.There isn't a handle to carry it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is small, light, and portable but gives off enough heat to warm up a whole bedroom. It has a timer, two heat levels (personal and whole room), low and high speed options, a fan-only mode, and tip-over protection for safety. It’s powerful even on personal/low mode and can be too warm if placed real close to a person so I recommend staying at least 1 feet away.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vornado high velocity ceramic heater works really well. It has 4 heat settings, a timer you can set at 2-4 or 8 hours. It can be used in a small personal space or for whole room heating. It also has a fan mode. I am using it in my bathroom right now, I turn it on and let it warm up the room before I take my shower, this is the coldest room in my home, in the winter, and this heater is just what I needed. The directions are clear and easy to read, and the heater is very easy to operate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this space heater. It heats up quickly and isn’t very loud. It has an easy to clean filter that makes maintenance easy. There are high and low heat settings as well as personal and whole room settings. It has a long cord and adjustable direction to easily direct heat where you want it to go. It fits perfectly under my desk. I will be buying another one for my bedroom.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heater is amazing! It’s very well made! What an amazing value for such a great product! It’s very quiet even on high! I’m also thrilled with how fast it can heat up a room! I really enjoy this heater especially in these cold Michigan winters! I have no complaints about this product!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this heater from Influenster to review. This heater is small, but it really does a great job at heating. I tried both personal option, which is the low setting as well as entire room setting, which is the high setting. I do really like the size of this heater. I was able to set it on my desk and have it blowing the warm air towards me while in my office, which gets pretty chilly. The size of the actual heater is probably around 10 inches by 7 inches. It doesn’t take long to warm up at all, the minute I turn it on it starts blowing the warm air immediately and it definitely warms me up quickly. When I did use the entire room mode, It obviously took a little bit longer to heat the room, but it did an amazing job. I have tried different larger heaters and this small heater did the job just as well as the larger ones. I definitely recommend this because the size is great, and the power is amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little machine packs a punch! It’s very sleek and small but got a lot of heat! I like how it also blow cool air before it powers off. It has a person use for small and than the powerful setting can heat a whole room! It really reaches far, just a bit noisy.
